Theoretical critique applying Nancy Fraser's political economy framework of recognition and redistribution to language education scholarship.
Conceptual evaluation of translanguaging research to assess its treatment of class-based and economic inequalities.
Language education research concentrates predominantly on recognition-oriented issues, such as identity-based discrimination and ethnolinguistic racism, while largely overlooking material redistribution.
Translanguaging approaches support cultural recognition but do not challenge the underlying capitalist structures that generate socioeconomic poverty for multilingual speakers.
